DRAGONS NAME TEAM OF ‘NEVER BEFORE, NEVER AGAIN’ ERA

The St George Illawarra Dragons have officially announced their ‘Team Of The Era’ who competed during the historic ‘Never Before, Never Again’ era which spanned from 1956 to 1966.

The St George Dragons conquered all who opposed them in a period of time which saw them claim a world-record 11 straight premiership victories during this period – to this day a feat which has never been challenged.

The record of the era was extraordinary: 222 first-grade games played during the period, for 183 wins, five draws and 34 defeats.

The Dragons fielded 85 players during this remarkable period, with each contributing to the 1,039 tries and 996 goals for 5,109 points.

Furthermore, 42 players took part in the 11 Grand Finals as they went on to score 205 points to 63 – conceding only five tries against them in the process.

The ‘Team of the Era’ was selected by an expert seven-man panel which consisted of Geoff Armstrong, Peter Black, Ian Heads, Gary Lester, Roy Masters, Arthur Summons and Larry Writer.
